Check your environment for the HTTP_PROXY value, aside from IPv6 like Steve=
=20
said.
Additionally, you can sort various master sites to your preferences:
=2D /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk lists various master sites for ports that ha=
ve=20
many.
=2D In there we see:
  .if !defined(IGNORE_MASTER_SITE_VIM)
MASTER_SITE_VIM+=3D \
        http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/ \
        http://mirrors.24-7-solutions.net/pub/vim/unix/ \
  ... etc ..
=2D So we can put in /etc/make.conf:
IGNORE_MASTER_SITE_VIM=3Dyes
MASTER_SITE_VIM=3Dlist_of_sites_that_work_best

I regularly change this master sites based on geographical location.
